Cittadella: The medieval Walled Town

Cittadella is a small medieval walled town located between Vicenza and Venice. The main attraction is the 14-meter high wall that surrounds the entire town along with a small museum documenting the history and restoration. It is a unique place to visit since most towns surrounded by walls were square/rectangular and Cittadella is surrounded by an almost circular wall with multiple gates and drawbridges. Purchase your ticket at the North tower and slowly make your way around the walls admiring the views of the surrounding countryside as well as the 12th-century town that resides within. If you happen to visit at the end of September, you can pair your visit with the town medieval reenactment with displays of archery, musicians, a market, falcon shows and a torchlight procession at sunset.
